Today marks the beginning of Grief Awareness Week.

Losing a loved one is always a challenging time.

This is why we often discover that a visit from a Canine Concern volunteer can help bring comfort and a smile at a difficult moment.

Our charity takes pride in supporting our volunteers when they lose their pet.

We send our members a personal Rainbow Bridge Poem when they lose their beloved pet. 🌈💙

A warm Wednesday welcome to our newly joined Volunteer – Levi and his owner Deborah. 🐕

Levi and Deborah have just done their first visit to a local Care Home on the Isle of Sheppey – and were delighted that the residents were so happy to see them. 😊

Levi will also be taking part in our ‘Read to Dogs’ programme at a local school soon. 🐶

We think he looks fabulous in his Canine Concern ‘uniform’. 💙

Our volunteer therapy dogs live in people's homes as their pets. 🐕

Our volunteer and their owners visit a variety of settings, including care homes schools, Universities, hospices, hospitals and even businesses.

They are trained to be gentle and friendly and to accept strangers hugging them or petting them. 🤗

They are patient and unbothered by children or adults who might have unusual movements or behaviour.

Dogs are just one type of therapy animal, others can be cats, rabbits, birds, horses even llamas and alpacas. 🐶

Have you got a suitable dog, and want to become a volunteer, please get in touch.

This month is . 🐕🐈

A reminder that our pet’s health and happiness is so important.

It’s estimated that one in four dogs will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.

Dogs are being trained to sniff out cancer in humans to help us catch it early, so let’s be vigilant to catch our dog’s cancer as early as we can with regular health checks and monitoring.

Many of our dogs visit hospices where cancer people are being treated, and I know many of our volunteers themselves are cancer survivors.

It can be a scary diagnosis, but let’s beat cancer in humans and dogs. 💙

Did you know…

In recent years, the possibility of intervening humans with animal-assisted therapy (AAT) has been growing due to numerous physical, psychological, and social benefits provided to humanity, enabling them to maintain or improve their quality of life. 🐶

This is why Canine Concern has been doing this voluntary work with our Therapy Dogs in England and Wales since 1988. 🐕
